Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was busy but a lot of fun. The Easter bunny came to our house. The kids had to find their hidden baskets. Then we were off to church in their new Easter clothes. After church we went to Grandpa Larsen's for a big Easter egg hunt. The night ended at Grandma and Grandpa Glover's for Easter dinner. So glad the weather was amazing. It was a great Easter.

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was great. It was nice weather and the kids were busy. We had our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. We dyed Easter eggs and the kids ate lots of candy. It was a great Easter Saturday.

No front teeth

Bentley now has no front teeth. He has lost a total of 4 teeth. He is growing up so fast it makes me sad. Every day i tell him to stop growing. He laughs and says "Mom i can't".

Wedding time!

Chad's youngest brother got married. We love his wife Emily. It was a fun couple of days. The reception was fun. We danced the night away. Hadley was my best dancer by far. She never stopped groovin. It's fun every once in awhile to get dressed up and go out. Congrats Ryan and Emily!

Bowling

It was a cold rainy Saturday so we went bowling. The kids loved it. For those of you that don't know, my husband is an excellent bowler. I am a horrible bowler. It was a great way to spend a Saturday.

Miss Hadley

Ah Miss Hadley full of spunk. Climbing on the top bunk, constantly putting on everyones shoes, loving her shows on Moms bed. How did we ever live with out her. She is such a girl.

Lincoln's Speech Class

Lincoln has been in a speech class for a year. He has been working on talking better. He graduated and doesn't need anymore help. So proud of him for working so hard. He has come a long way. Way to go Lincoln!!

Mom

On February 24th my Mom passed away. She had a long, courageous, 9 month battle with cancer. How do you say good bye. Truth is i still haven't. I think about her everyday. I miss her everyday. She is everywhere: in my house, in my children, in my life. She made me who i am. Life will never be the same. But life needs you to move on. I move on because that is what she would want me to do. My children need me to move on. How do i do it without leaving her behind. The truth is, she is gone. She's not here to talk to. She's not playing with my kids. She's is in a far better place. Happy, with her parents and loved ones, watching me from above. But i'm here waiting for the time i can hug her and see her again. So i move on. I try to adjust to a life with out her. I'm not sure if i will ever get fully adjusted. I hold on to all the momories i have of her. Sometimes i dream about her and it seems so real. I will always miss her. I will always want her here. I can't change what has happened. All i can do is try to live a life worthy to hers, keep her legacy alive. Mom i love you. Thank you for raising me, for all the sacrifices you made for me. Can't wait to see you again.

Happy Valentines Day!

We had our annual Valentines breakfast. The kids loved it. Valentines Day is just a fun day to be with the ones you love and let them know you love them.
